Hullo from Yakima!

caillean · 04-27-2011, 02:11 PM

Hi All.

New member checking in. Moved to Yakima about 7 months ago from MA with my husband and 2 dogs. Love it out here, so much better than [the people's republic of] Massachusetts. [plus WA is a FREE STATE! Yay!]

I've been shooting a number of years now, and love it. Love everything from evil black rifles and modern pistols to historic pieces used and designed a hundred years ago or more.

I reload. For now it's just pistol rounds, but will be finding time to start on the 5.56x45 soon. It's the only way we can afford to shoot like we'd like.

Anyway, just checking in and saying 'Hi'.

Oh, I don't know... just a JMB (PBUH) masterpiece...

Then again, I really really really want my dad's 1866 Yellowboy carbine (Uberti reproduction). Love that rifle.

welcome to the forum, you have already proven productive in answering that little bit about transportation of firearms across state lines...

happy to have you here...

Welcome. I had a feeling not everyone from Massachusetts is an idiot. I am glad to be correct.

Welcome!! I came to the Free State of WA from the Peoples' Republik of Canada 6 years ago,and will NEVER return. The laws are like a collection of the worst of the worst states, MA and HI being the closest. My fiance, also a shooter,is from CA... Again,welcome!

Welcome from your neighbor to the south. I'm originally from washington but have lived here for the last decade or so. I'll actually be driving up there to Yakima next weekend for my sister's graduation. Should be a fun drive :-)

Hi Caillean,
I live about halfway between Yakima and the Tri-Cities. We have a great range down here; look us up -- . I enjoy shooting, hunting and fishing. Glad to have you on the forum.

Thanks RobRob. We typically shoot out at Sun Valley Shooting Park. Love it out there. It's also a lot closer to us than TCSA is. (25min vs well over an hour's drive)

Don't forget Hole In The Wall in Kennewick (the guys there are awesome, and have a great gun selection), or Rattlesnake Mountain just ooutside the Tri-Cities, if you come see us out here.
